I have not lost any of my editable areas, but did stumble across something that might be related to this.
I understood that the drive retention period is about 3 months. When I look at my drives in WME, I am able to select any of the drives going back to 21st Oct 2012, which is less than a month ago.

When I attempt to select any of the drives from 20th July 2012 ( my first drive ) up to 20th Oct 2012, I get the popup with the 'Loading' info, but the Chrome console indicates an error:

GET https://world.waze.com/Descartes-live/a ... =nnnnnnnnn 403 (Forbidden)
The session id is likely the unique Drive ID.

I'm just wondering if the date logic from drive 1 on 20th July coincides with the selection of up to 20th of last month. Can anyone else confirm if their join date and where it stops correlate ?

Lost some of my recent drives, but I also seem to have lost my AM editable area.

I have lost most of my editable areas that are over 4 weeks old. What is odd is I get blobs of editable areas along my drives, so not all is lost.

Example: The drive is along the red road. Should be a 4 mile wide of editable area along the whole stretch.

Same thing happened to me. And I did a big drive last weekend to re-expand my editing area. And it was expanded for a few days; now the outer areas are gone again.

I've already redriven this to restore my areas, but that's the drive in question here. (Hope I got the conversion to GMT right!)
